This month, one relationship may turn out to be downright life changing. With a plethora of planets building in your seventh house of serious commitments, you are about to have a "coming together" of major proportions. You may get engaged or married, or you may sign papers with a business partner (whether that is an individual or a company). This partner will be so special that your life could be radically transformed by this relationship. Working together, you will be able to create the solid financial future you've craved for so long.

Things will take off on or just after December 9, the new moon in this very same relationship sector. The planets in this house will include: Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck; Pluto, wealth; Mercury, communication and agreements / contracts; the Sun, authority and strength; and new moon, fresh starts. They will band their energies together and help you make a success of your venture.

The exciting part is that Jupiter will conjunct Pluto only two days after the new moon, on December 11. Whenever we find Jupiter and Pluto together, it is always an indicator of incredible success. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet both have this configuration in their natal charts, so they get to enjoy this aspect ALL the time, not just now, while these planets transit the Sun. You can easily see how wonderful this is for one and all. You will have two weeks in which to plant seeds, but you should do so as close to December 9 -11 as possible.

Jupiter will not meet with Pluto again for THIRTEEN YEARS! The slower and rarer a configuration is, the more powerful it is! This is a critical time for you!

Do all in your power to act BEFORE this aspect peaks on December 11. You will want the energy of these two planets to build in strength. Once an aspect reaches its apex, it's like a souffle - after peaking, its energy rapidly deflates. That's why it is wise to catch an aspect on its journey to the other planet, not after they've met and the two are pulling apart.

If you make a serious commitment in business or in marriage this month, you will be right on target and making these energies work for you. (Meeting someone new wouldn't quite work, as the 7th house, so brilliantly lit this month, is the house of serious, formal commitments. The blush of new love is covered by another area of the chart, the fifth house. ) If you are about to sign a contract, you have high hopes for this particular venture because it is likely to be realized.

If you were born on or within five days of June 7, or within five days of June 18, you will benefit most from this gorgeous energy. Make no mistake, however - every Gemini will benefit in some way. You don't have to have these birthdays to be part of this cosmic celebration in Sagittarius. This is BIG!

The month is simply brimming with good news. Yes, there's more!

The next aspect you should watch is when Jupiter makes its first visit to Capricorn since 1996 on December 18. Jupiter will remain in Capricorn for a full year, and is not due to leave until January 5, 2009. Once in Capricorn, Jupiter will set to work to increase your income and/or cash flow, and the money you see will be outside salary. That's right - we are not talking about normal earned income, but rather money you share with another.

The eighth house is often thought of as the house that we "shop" for money to fund big goals. When we want to buy a house, we need a mortgage. When we go to college, we tend to need financial aid or a scholarship. A new business may need a business startup loan or venture capital. You see what I mean - grand ideas often take equally grand funding. The money you need to begin will come - more easily than you ever thought possible. Of course, a lot depends on how you've handled money in the past, for it will affect how banks view you, but all in all, you are very lucky these days!

This eighth house of the horoscope that will receive a visit from Jupiter, planet of expansion and good luck, also covers money you receive after it is divided at the end of a business partnership or marriage. If you are parting, the check you receive is likely to be generous. If you are in court and hoping to be rewarded damages, you should be pleased with the results of the judgment, especially if it is handed down on or after December 18.

If you work on commission, royalty, or licensing fees, you should do well now and in 2008, for sure. Company benefits should be generous this year, so if you work on salary, ask for better health care, life insurance, or a key to the executive gym, as a few examples, for these perks are certainly worth good money.

Speaking of work, on December 18, you'll be amazed when your boss sends out a memo praising you, or the media calls with a request for an interview out of the blue. Everything you've done has led you to this moment. Venus in perfect angle to Uranus will see to it that you get the applause you're due!

On December 20, Mercury, your ruling planet, will make its annual visit to Jupiter, in conjunction. Again financial news will be sensational. This would be a perfect day to sign a contract. When you're hot, you're hot! (If you can sign your contract earlier in the month, I like December 4 and 5, too.)

Remarkably, along with so many other amazing five-star conjunctions, we have still another! Jupiter and the Sun will meet at precise mathematical degree in conjunction on December 23, also an annual event, and one I always call the luckiest day of the year.

These two luminaries are hugely important: Jupiter is the giver of gifts and luck, and the Sun, the giver of all life and strength - the star found in the very center of our solar system. These two will meet in your financial solar eighth house, indicating that you are about to be given a very generous check or holiday gift just before Christmas. Wow, that would be just when you'd appreciate it most!

December 23 is a Sunday, when mail delivery is not likely, so unless someone brings you the check or gift in person, you may receive the benefits of this glorious day as you approach it, on Thursday, December 20 through Saturday, December 22. No matter what occurs, it looks like friends and family will be very generous to you this year.

Coincidentally, this date, December 23, is ALSO the date of the full moon in your financial sector, but it seems that even though some of the money has been spoken for, you'll do very, very well. With your aspects, it wouldn't hurt to buy a scratch-off lotto ticket on December 23. Don't buy too many of course. If you're meant to win, you will!

This all is especially good news, for Mars has been retrograde in your second house of money, indicating that checks have probably been held up, just at a time when expenses have been running frightfully high. You may be trying to hold the line, but during the period from March 4 to May 9 expenses will again begin to rise, the way they did from the end of September through mid-November. After May 9, 2008, your need to spend will thankfully be greatly reduced. What a relief!

Romantically, the big news will obviously be for those who feel ready to get married, for this month will be simply extraordinary for couples getting engaged or planning a wedding soon.

Single? You will find good chemistry with those you meet in late December and also next month, January. With sexy sparks flying, it won't be a cold winter this year!

Romance: December 3, 9, 11, 13, 20, 22, 30, and 31.

For New Year's Eve, the moon will be in fellow air sign Libra, filling your house of true love, favoring you! Mars has been in Cancer, but has backed into Gemini, just in time to make your grand entrance at parties you'll be invited to. You have a great year ahead. Start celebrating now!

Summary:

This has all the makings of a memorable month for a romantic relationship. You may experience an intensity of loving emotions that you haven't felt in a long time that surprises and thrills you! There's a very good chance that if you are a woman Gemini, you'll find a sparkling diamond in Santa's stocking or in your crystal glass of Mimosa at breakfast. If you are a man, you may be shopping for diamonds as the snow falls, in a scene straight out of those touchingly romantic black and white movies that run on TV at this time of the year.

Think happy thoughts. With no less than five planets in your seventh house of commitment, if your partner doesn't pop the question, you might as well do it. There's no doubt that attached Gemini will experience a swooning romance and have the apparent edge this month over single-and-not-dating Gemini.

If you're already married, your partner will bring you enormously good news in early December, and you will benefit from it, even if you are simply a bystander to what is going on.

The same is true for those with a business partner, agent, publicist, or other one-on-one expert who represents you (or if you are the agent, the talent you represent). This person will be worth his or her weight in gold to you!

If you are not married and not dating seriously, then you can enjoy the lovely vibes circulating this month by building a powerful business alliance.

Choose to formalize any type of partnership business or personal in the first ten days of the month, prior to December 11. Pluto and Jupiter will meet on this day and if you choose to seed your new alliance then, it will grow as fantastically tall as Jack's beanstalks.

This is no ordinary month - whether your "coming together" is business or romantic in nature, the potential of your venture will be enormous. In fact, no matter how far you think this alliance will take you, it will take you farther yet. At some point it will occur to you, correctly, that you will be much more powerful with your partner - accomplishing life goals and building more long-term security - than you could ever be alone. This is a huge realization for independence-minded Gemini.

At work you'll be golden. Watch one special day: December 18, when work you do will get a thundering round of applause from VIPs and peers alike.

But that's not all! Thanks to a magical meeting of the Sun and Jupiter on December 23, you are about to receive an amazingly generous gift, check, or chunk of cash, possibly earned as a commission or royalty. It may even be money that you won in a contest, scratch-off card, or game show! What a holiday this will be for you! You will be in the chips, for sure, and it's coming at the very best time, when costs have been rising because you are so generous.

The month ends on a glamorous note. New Year's Eve should be positively brilliant for you. The moon will be in Libra and move through your true love sector. At the same time, Mars will be back in Gemini, putting YOU in the spotlight. The stage is set, the lighting will be perfect, and you will outshine all the others.

Dance the night away, dear Gemini. Stay out late, and at sunrise, as you and your partner gaze out the window, life will never look more beautiful. You may not have stayed out so late to watch the Sun come up since college days, but hey, this is your life and it's your time to live it. This month will be a month like no other, so set your compass and reach for the stars!
